Welcome back!

All women undergo menopause when they reach they age of 40 or 50. Asian women are said to experience menopausal signs and symptoms at an early age of 40, while most suffer it late during their 50’s. Thought there were cases that women are forced into the condition without being aware of it.

Induced Experience

There is a possibility for women to be forced into menopausal due to one reason or another. Signs and symptoms that come with this condition are experienced early, as well as being known to be of the extreme case as compared to the natural menopausal cycle.

Induced menopausal may be caused when the female species have their ovaries removed that automatically stop the reproductive system functions. Estrogen levels drop rapidly, as well as other hormones to decrease causing signs and symptoms to appear quickly as compared to the gradual change that comes with the natural menopausal cycle. There were also cases of chemotherapy and radiation treatment having this effect on some women.

Aftershock

Aside from the fact that their childbearing ability is stopped at an early age, women who suffer from induced menopause might experience extreme bouts of symptoms that make it more uncomfortable and painful that women going through it naturally.

Women who go through the natural process have plenty of time to prepare themselves for the experience. They can look for information in advance and mentally prepare what they will eventually face when the condition kicks in. Women who are induced with this condition don’t have the liberty of being informed in advance.

Hot flashes and night sweats come early and are said to last for a longer period of time than normal. Sudden bouts of irritability and anger are commonly observed, as well as indications of extreme depression and anxiety attacks. It might be possible for only one symptom to be exaggerated — only if the woman is lucky. In most cases, all of the signs and symptoms are exaggerated and may prove to be more painful to deal with.

Shorter Experience

One advantage, if women can ever consider this as a benefit, of induced menopausal is the time that these signs and symptoms are in effect. It was observed that women under this condition suffer these problems in a shorter period of time compared to natural menopausal.

Doctors who are aware of their patients going into induced menopause might advise constant surveillance on their patient’s vitals to ensure that nothing major will crop up during the condition. Women can request certain medications or therapies to fight the physical and emotional manifestations of the condition to make it more bearable and painless.

Menopause is a natural cycle in a woman’s life, same with mid-life crisis that all men go through in their lifetime. The condition entails signs and symptoms that are quite unbearable and painful if certain steps are not taken in advance, or mentally preparing yourself before the cycle kicks in so that you would know what to do when you’re already under it.

Facts about the Condition

Menopause is simply the condition wherein a woman’s reproductive system ceases to function. Hormonal imbalance is evident as estrogen levels gradually drops that cause physical and emotional manifestations to crop up from time to time throughout the duration of the condition.

Before the main problem starts, women undergo perimenopausal for 12 months. This condition is evident when their menstruation slowly diminishes until to the point that they won’t have it at all.

In most cases, women undergo this condition when they reach their 50’s. Some women suffer early at the age of 40, but this is rare and is mostly seen on Asian women. Also, the signs and symptoms vary according to how their bodies adapt to the change. Some may prove to be minor irritation while others can be downright unbearable and painful.

Emotional Change

Women who are under the throes of menopausal might suffer from emotional and behavioral change due to the hormonal imbalance in their system. Common signs and symptoms include irritability, sadness, anxiety attacks — which will eventually lead to depression.

One of the reasons why women should know about the emotional angst that comes with menopausal is the possible risk to themselves, as well as to other people in the immediate surrounding. Unexplained sadness and anxiety attacks might lead to extreme cases of depression that may be attributed to cases of self-mutilation or suicide.

There were even scenarios wherein menopausal women who undergo drastic and extreme emotional change harming their children — both emotionally and physically.

Physical And Sexual Change

Menopause may also result to sudden change to a woman’s physical outlook, as well as to their sexual behavior. The female specifies might notice weight loss or weight gain during the condition. Some even observe of hair loss, skin dryness, allergic reaction, and the likes.

There were also cases that a woman’s sexual activity is blunted due to menopausal. Skin dryness may cause the vagina to be very sensitive during sexual intercourse — ending up in laceration or bleeding that may prove to be very painful if left unchecked. Reduced libido may cause women to lose interest in sex or having a hard time reaching orgasm that is attributed to their lack of passion to the activity.

As we mentioned in previous article, Premenstrual syndrome effects over 70% to 90% of women before menopause in the US and less for women in Southeast Asia because of their difference in living style and social structure. The occurrence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) have more than doubled over the past 50 years due to the acceptance of it as a medical condition that is caused by unhealthy diet with high in saturated food. Premenstrual syndrome is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women’s menstrual cycle, it effects a women’s physical and emotional state, and sometimes interferes with daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation. The syndrome occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines when the period starts. In this article, we will discuss how nuts and seeds help to treat PMS. Remember, no matter how good the medication are, how effective the herbs are, how good the self help program is, etc. without changing or adding foods which contain high amount of antioxidant, vitamins, minerals and nutrients, re occurrence of the symptoms is as high as 100%.

1. GI index
Nuts and seeds rank very low in GI index, it means carbohydrate in nuts and seeds are slower than many others in releasing glucose into the blood stream during carbohydrate synthesis, thereby, decreasing the fluctuation of levels of insulin in the blood stream resulting in lessening the risk of diabetes and symptoms of food and sugar craving.

2. Circulatory function
Tuts and seeds have been proven to have a good effect in the circulatory system including coronary heart disease because nuts and seed helps to reduce the levels of bad cholesterol, resulting in increasing the blood circulation and transportation of oxygen to the body cell thereby, reducing symptoms of PMS.

3. Essential fatty acids
They also contain high levels of Omega 3 fatty acid which is essential to balance the levels of fatty acid in the body. Deficiency of Omega fatty acid 3 decreases the liver in bile secretion causing hormone imbalance and premenstrual pain and cramps.

4. Zinc and Iron
They also contains Zinc and iron. While zinc not only helps to regulate the production of prolactin hormone and insulin resulting in decreasing the risk of breast tenderness and food and sugar craving, iron help to improve the circulatory system in absorbing oxygen that is vital for women with PMS with symptoms of memory problems.

5. Live longer and healthier
For what ever reasons some studies show that people eat plenty of nuts and seeds live 3 years longer and healthier than those do not and people who eat nuts tend to eat less harmful junk foods.

BLOOD GROUP BASED NATURAL DIET
